WORKS FOR

interactive data analysis and plotting, embedded systems and automotive control theory, signal processing and machine learning

KEY INSIGHT

It is an industry-standard numerical environment for engineering and scientific computing, not a general-purpose business or web development tool.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

building a trillion-dollar AI business (implied scale limitation), general-purpose programming outside its core numerical domain

MIXED

Serious engineers use Matlab, after all, that's a serious paid product.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Proprietary toolboxes and code for research/engineering

WORKED

Something like Matlab that almost always throws up a reasonable plot with interactive controls.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Interactive data analysis and plotting

WORKED

Technologies: Embedded systems, automotive, machine learning, signal processing, data science, real time computing, safety processes (MISRA, ISO26262, etc), MATLAB, FPGA.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Listed as a core technology in their background for control theory, signal processing, and automotive work.

FAILED

Also, last I checked, MATLAB wasn’t a trillion dollar business.

Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Implied use in scientific/mathematical computing, contrasted with the scale of modern AI businesses.
